 The
Law Offices of James F. DeMartini offer the full range of family law
representation. We represent parties to divorce and legal separation disputes,
as well as annulments.
Our emphasis is on helping adults
make adult decisions about their lives. Many times Mr. DeMartini's longtime
relationship with other members of the family law bar in Sonoma, Mendocino, and
Lake Counties has helped to diffuse volatile divorce situations. His emphasis on
dispute resolution rather than litigation has saved hundreds of people thousands
of dollars in unnecessary attorney's fees and unwarranted aggravation.
Yet, when only a trial will
resolve the issues presented by divorcing parties, Mr. DeMartini's years of
trial experience have resulted in many favorable decisions.
Mr. DeMartini has represented
hundreds of individuals who have worked through the very difficult issues of
child custody and visitation.
We represent fathers and mothers
in establishing child support and spousal support. Much of our work is done
defending parents against the claims of District Attorneys for child support
claims reaching back years. We can review current support orders and recommend
modification if warranted. In many cases we can obtain modifications of support
without our clients ever seeing the inside of a courtroom. Mr. DeMartini assists
many individuals with collecting unpaid back child and spousal support.
Our staff provides assistance
with guardianships, step-parent adoptions, and grandparent visitation petitions.
We can obtain domestic violence restraining orders and represent those charged
with domestic violence in both the civil and criminal courts. |
